Who so knoweth not this time, is not wise. Of this blindness and heaviness of the people, God complaineth in many places of the Prophets. In the eight Chapter of Jeremiah, Even the Stork in the air knoweth her 1appointed times, and the Turtle, and the Crane, and the Swallow observe the time of their coming: but my people knoweth not the judgement of the Lord. Of this their blindness and folly, our Saviour ⟨image 111⟩reproveth Jerusalem: O if thou haddest (even 2now at the least in this thy day) known those things, which belong unto thy peace: but now are they hid from thine eyes. For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round and keep thee in on every side, and shall make thee even with the ground, and thy children which are within thee, and they shall not leave in thee a stone upon a stone, because thou knowest not the time of thy visitation. Therefore the Apostle calleth upon the Romans, telleth them that the Sun is up, and the day open: and warneth them, not to lose the season: for now, even now (saith he) it is time to rise.

In the eight Chapter of Ieremie, Euen the Storke in the ayre knoweth her 1appoynted times, and the Turtle, and the Crane, and the Swallowe obserue the time of their comming: but my people knoweth not the iudgement of the Lorde. Of this their blindnesse and follie, our Sauiour ⟨image 111⟩reproueth Hierusalem: O if thou haddest (euen 2now at the least in this thy day) knowen those thinges, whiche belong vnto thy peace: but nowe are they hidde from thine eyes. For the dayes shall come vppon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compasse thee rounde and keepe thee in on euery side, and shall make thee euen with the grounde, and thy children which are within thee, and they shall not leaue in thee a stone vppon a stone, because thou knowest not the time of thy visitation. Therefore the Apostle calleth vppon the Romaines, telleth them that the Sunne is vp, and the day open: and warneth them, not to lose the season: for nowe, euen nowe (saith he) it is time to rise.
